Section 27: Chess pieces
Silver Dust stood still and didn't speak, his narrow eyes shrouded in shadows cast by the arches of his raised eyebrows.
You can clearly sense the remnants of soul power that still remain around you that have not yet dissipated, and it seems that the time when the fight took place is not far away. The remnants of soul power floating in the air are extremely pure, and it is impossible for them to come from ordinary soul magicians, with this level of pure soul power, at least from the apostles or even the princes.
However, a struggle between an apostle or a prince is no small matter.
Silver Dust was faintly worried.
Behind the statues lined up on the right side of the corridor, there is a faint blue light, illuminating everything in the corridor, and tiny stone chips and powder dust float in the light, and the smell of blood can be vaguely distinguished.
"Didn't you say we're going to the bottom of the sea, what are you doing here?" Qi Ling waited for a long time, seeing that Yinchen had always stood still and didn't speak, so he couldn't help but ask.
"This is the entrance to the soul mound. Counting from here, the seventeenth idol is the [chess piece] that goes to the soul mound. β
Kirin rubbed his temples with a pained expression: "I said Mr. Silver Dust...... May I ask what kind of Rausch thing is this [chess piece]......"
Yinchen glanced at Qi Lingyan: "In essence, the chess pieces are still a kind of formation, and they belong to a variant of the formation. To put it simply, it is to use soul power to condense a seal on an object, so as to open up two spaces that are far apart. A chess piece can be anything, a stone, a tree, a door, a weapon, a sculpture, can be a chess piece. The chess pieces are distributed in various places on the continent of Odin, starting from ancient times, and over time, some have become ineffective, and some are still in use. And Wren's chess piece, which is connected to the soul mound, is an important entrance for the prince's apostle to obtain the Horcrux, so it is also one of the most famous chess pieces. β
"Oh......" Kirin looked at the row of hooded sculptures on the wall with faces shrouded in black shadows, and it was hard to imagine being able to reach another dimension through them.
"So, am I going alone?" Qi Ling suddenly remembered and shook his head, "No, no, no, no, I don't dare, it's too scary...... Silver Dust, you're going with me. β
"I've already entered the Soul Tomb when I'm an apostle, and I can't go in again. Silver Dust stared at the long, narrow area, his gaze shrouded in shadows, he still maintained a cold expression, but there was an imperceptible tremor in his voice, which sounded like a distant place, the sound of ice breaking.
γWest Globe Empire: Port City of Rennesγ
Qi Ling stared at the row of gloomy statues in front of him, and his mouth kept "tsk", stretching out his hand from time to time, wanting to touch the idol, but he didn't dare to really touch it, stretching and shrinking, like a spring hand, he was having a lot of fun, and there was no sign of being ready to leave, and Yinchen had to step forward and grab him by the collar and drag him away from the statue.
Qi Ling struggled desperately and squeaked, but he still couldn't get out, so he could only turn to verbal attacks: "Let me down!" You carry me like this like a bully little hairy child, if you are seen by the flower girl on the street, I am too shameless! After all, I am also a famous beautiful boy in Fuze Town!" "Old man, let me tell you, I am only seventeen years old, and I will still grow tall, don't rely on being half a head taller than me now to carry me around, wait for me later...... Ouch wow my waist ......"...... ......Ahh
- Qiling was dragged out of the narrow corridor, spitting out ice ballasts all the way, and followed the silver dust to the door of a delicate post station.
Two white flags hung at the entrance of the inn, and the flags were embroidered with camellia motifs with gold and silver silk threads. Two intricately carved copper lamps hang on both sides of the porch, and although it is daytime, the copper lamps are still lit, looking warm and luxurious. And walking up the steps in front of the gate, Qiling smelled a faint fragrance of camellia, it seems that the oil of the downlight should be added to the spice extracted from camellia. "The people in the city are really exquisite. Qi Ling sighed in his heart, "I can also talk to the proprietress when I go back, hang these two oil lamps at the door of the post station, and add the most famous spices in Fuze Town to the lamp oil, it will definitely be ......" Thinking of this, Qi Ling realized that the post station was gone, and his mood couldn't help but be a little lower again.
Yinchen had already walked into the lobby of the post station, Qiling followed, and saw some people in brocade clothes who seemed to have a good status sitting inside drinking tea and chatting, he couldn't help but shrink behind Yinchen, a little nervous.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted me to go to [Soul Mound], why did you come to stay at the hotel now?" Qiling followed up and asked Silver Dust, who was asking if there was a room in the store. But Yinchen ignored him, just frowned, obviously, it didn't seem to be going well.
"There's only one room left. The shopkeeper pointed to a bronze sign with wooden sticks and only one empty space.
"No! two rooms!" Qi Ling looked at the tall and cold side of the silver dust snow mountain, and his face turned red. He hesitated and demanded to the shopkeeper: "Trouble, two." β
Silver Dust squinted at Qi Ling, didn't bother to pay attention to him, reached out and took the bronze medal of the room handed over by the store, and then turned around and walked up the stairs. He didn't look back, and said coldly to Qi Ling behind him, "Follow me upstairs." Otherwise, I'll bring you up." β
Qi Ling cried with a sad face, and trotted all the way up to follow: "Then may I ask if this room has one bed or two beds?"
The room is on the fourth floor of the inn, and when you open the window, you can see the magnificent cityscape of Rennes. The location of the post station is not far from the harbor, and the coastline in the distance is full of white waves, many seabirds hover around the masts of fishing boats, and the wind blows the noise of the harbor and the smell of the sea into Kirin's nose.
"Wow! big city!" Qiling lay in front of the window, half of his body leaning out, looking like he was about to fall out. He turned his head, danced on the ground, and was about to speak, when he saw Silver Dust walking towards him with two golden fruits in his hands. The fruit is small and looks like a transparent golden cherry.
"Ouch, what are you doing so politely, and preparing fruit. Kirin reached out and took one, threw it into his mouth, and ate it.
Silver Dust was dumbfounded, stunned for a few seconds and didn't know how to react, although he had gradually become accustomed to Qi Ling's ghost horse bulleting, but obviously this time he had refreshed the height.
"This ...... It's not for eating......" Silver Dust rubbed his temples.
Qi Ling slammed his chest onto his chest: "Oh my god, will I die young?"
Silver Dust: "......"
"What the hell is this?" Qiling cried with a sad face, feeling like he wanted to vomit out the fruit he had just eaten.
"It is the fruit of a tree called 'Sisya'. The fruit that bears her name is legend has it that it was the eye of a silver priest. β
"Wow...... When I was a child, I listened to stories, and I always had this kind of miraculous fruit, or medicine, or something like that! And then there was always a young man like me who fell off a cliff and then ate this fruit. Qi Ling's eyes lit up, and he stared at the golden fruit in Yinchen's hand with a serious and serious face, and three words were written on his face, "Give it to me"!
Silver Dust rolled his eyes.
Qi Ling suddenly realized: "Oh yes, you just said that you didn't eat it. β
Yinchen nodded, his face a little relieved.
"That's supposed to be for the face. Kirin looked down in thought.
Yinchen's face was as cold as ice, and he slapped Qi Ling on the head with his backhand: "Can you help!"
With that, he walked over and reached out to pinch Kirin's chin, pulling his face closer to himself.
Silver Dust: "...... Why are you closing your eyes? Yinchen rolled his eyes, looked at the heroic face of Qi Ling, who was red-eared and his eyes closed, and sighed.
"Besides, how do I know what you want to do?" Qi Ling opened his clear eyes, his eyelashes fanning up and down excitedly, like two soft black feathers. Yinchen looked at Qi Ling's face, which was only a few centimeters away from his nose, and was stunned, thinking to himself, I don't know how many girls will be fascinated by this handsome face when he grows up. Yinchen's face softened, and he said to Qi Ling, "Keep your eyes open and don't move." β
After saying that, Yinchen pinched a "Xisya" fruit, moved it above Qi Ling's eyes, and squeezed a few drops of golden juice into his pupils.
